Default T206 Centering

For all of you T206 collectors, I am wondering what you consider to be ideal centering for T206's and similar cards. I usually think of 50/50 cards as having all borders with the same width, but because the T206's have lettering on the bottom border does that change things?

Here are three different cards from the Heritage Auction that just closed. (If you won any of these, congratulations to you!) These cards are all about the same left-to-right (all are a bit thicker on the right side), but are different top-to-bottom.

Doc White - this card has a top border that matches the width from the lettering to the bottom of the card.

Red Cobb - the width of the top border matches the side borders.

Orval Overall - the lettering is centered within the bottom border.

Which of these cards do you think is the best centered from top to bottom? Are any of these ideal or do they all come up short in some respect?
